  SYMPLE – School of Hydrogeological Modeling

  Data Anaysis, Hydrogeology, Numerical modeling, Calibration, Uncertainty Analysis. SYMPLE proposes a School of Hydrogeological Modelling hosted by professionals and academics. The course will blend theory with practice in ways that our unique industry requires. Such courses are comparatively rare and urgently needed.
  
  The traditional workflow begins with field investigations, proceeds to the building of a conceptual model, and then seeks to build an often too complex numerical model on that basis. The underlying principle of this old approach is that we can deterministically simulate what happens under the ground. This is a demonstrably erroneous premise. The “traditional” method has been leading us to widespread distrust of what modelling can achieve.
  
  SYMPLE intends to promote and facilitate the understanding, use and evaluation of hydrogeological numerical models through a multidisciplinary program (the School) associated with the use of strategies aimed at solving specific problems (project-related strategy).
  
  Development of better strategies to address existing and pressing problems just requires the same data and software mostly already available (PEST and PEST++ suites), but a new mindset. And in many cases the modelling will be quicker and less expensive because it is:
  
  - management targeted;
  - no more complex than it needs to be to serve the decision-support demands;
  - supported by project-related strategies with associated specific software.
  
  That is, modelling will be complex enough to assimilate data and reduce uncertainty, but strategically simple because it is decision-focused.

  Groundwater time series analysis

  Building on the March 'Webinar: Groundwater time series analysis', this course will demonstrate how the HydroGeoSines (HGS) package for Python can be used to obtain additional insights from existing groundwater hydrograph data.
  
  The expert presenters are also the developers of the newly-developed HGS package and they will demonstrate how HGS and Python language allow an easy way to pre-process and interpret standard groundwater monitoring datasets. This includes the removal of barometric pressure and Earth tide effects while characterising aquifer types using Barometric Efficiency values and Barometric Response Functions. Attendees will also gain insights into the software’s other features, including estimating aquifer properties such as hydraulic conductivity and specific storage from time series data alone.
  
  Schedule Outline
  Part 1 | Thursday 1st Dec | Led by Todd Rasmussen:
  
  1. Data wrangling
  – Gap interpolation, outlier detection, detrending, and temporal differencing of measured data
  
  2. Correcting groundwater data for atmospheric and Earth tide influences
  – Removing the effects of atmospheric and Earth tide influences, as performed previously by software such as BETCO
  
  3. Assessing the time lag-dependence of groundwater responses to atmospheric influences
  – Characterising and quantifying groundwater responses to atmospheric influences using regression deconvolution
  
  Part 2 | Thursday 8th Dec | Led by Chris Turnadge:
  
  1. Traditional methods of interpreting groundwater responses to Earth tide influences
  – Identifying and quantifying Earth tide influences using Fourier analysis
  – Interpreting aquifer confinement status from Earth tide influences
  
  2. Traditional methods of interpreting groundwater responses to atmospheric influences
  – Quantifying and comparing responses using a range of traditional methods
  – Estimating barometric efficiency and aquifer specific storage values from measured responses
  
  Part 3 | Thursday 15th Dec | Led by Gabriel Rau:
  
  1. Advanced methods of quantifying the groundwater responses to tidal forces
  – Identifying and quantifying tidal influences using harmonic least-squares
  
  2. Advanced methods of interpreting the groundwater responses to Earth and atmospheric tides
  – Analysing harmonic components and disentangling their drivers
  
  3. Quantifying subsurface properties using the groundwater responses to Earth and atmospheric tides
  – Estimating hydraulic conductivity, specific storage and barometric efficiency
  
  
  
  Attendees will gain insights into HydroGeoSines (HGS) other features, including:
  
  How to automate pre-processing tasks, including resampling measurements to a consistent time step, and using interpolation methods for gap filling;
  How to remove the effects of barometric pressure and Earth tides, as performed previously by software such as BETCO;
  
  How to use a range of methods to identify aquifer confinement types from groundwater responses to Earth tides;
  
  How to use a range of methods to estimate the specific storage of confined aquifers from groundwater responses to Earth and atmospheric tides; and,
  
  How to estimate aquifer hydraulic conductivity from groundwater responses to Earth tides.
